We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit to Aotearoa! I have never made a secret of the fact that I love NZ and Ralph and I love going to the South Island, and in particular, Queenstown, our favorite place anywhere in the world !! So glad you took a flight to MIlford Sound followed by a 2-hour cruise. That is the only way to go, in my humble opinion. We are particularly happy you seemed to have had good weather. That can make such a difference, The sail around the Harbour in a former America’s Cup yacht would have been excellent fun and a great way to see the harbour and environs.
We don’t arrive back in Auckland until Feb 9th and leave exactly 89 days later, one day short of the max time Ralph is allowed to stay.
